Science
Both Astronomers and Astronauts play a vital role in helping us understand the Universe. Today we will study both and write some notes in the Blue Space section of our binders.
Astronomers study Astronomy. Astronauts are people who are trained to travel in a spacecraft.
What's Astronomy? Take some time to look at this site. Write both a basic definition and some bullet points about astronomy.
Famous Astronomers While at this website, check out who the leaders in astronomy are and what they do. Choose two to add to your notes. For each, include their name and their contribution to astronomy.
Famous Astronauts
Another Astronaut website While at these websites, check out who our famous astronauts were. We've heard a few of these names from the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs. Here you will also choose two astronauts to add to your notes. For each one, tell their name and what they did to further the study of space.
When you're done, post a summary of either one famous astronaut or one famous astronomer. This blog will be graded using the rubric that we came up with together in class. If you need a reminder, look at "Blog Post Rubric" in the pages on the right hand side. Reply to others' comments.
